You can then purchase a lower-cost Tageskarte (day pass) for your inner-city sightseeing needs.

Thanks. Is there a website where I can find out more about Tageskartes? I'm wondering whether a card purchased at 3 pm is good through 3 pm the next day, or only until midnight or 1 am? Do you have any idea how much time the airport bus takes vs. subway with transfer? I won't have much luggage, so transferring's not a concern.

Edit: I just looked, and a Tageskarte for interior Munich costs 5 Euros a day, and I would need 2 for 10 Euros. A return bus ticket would cost 17 Euros for a total of 27 Euros. Two Tageskartes that include the airport would be a total of 20 Euros, so cheaper. Is the bus any faster than the S-Bahn/U-Bahn route?
